Booked this hotel in February as a base to visit a beautiful country. Iceland is a very expensive country with everything costing two or three times what we would pay in the UK.
We arrived right outside the hotel from the airport following a very convenient and well planned airport coach company trip. We were checked in by a friendly English speaking receptionist who showed us to our room.

Metropolitan Hotel is a newly renovated hotel originally built in the 1920s in old town Reykjavik. Situated amongst historical building on a well maintained one way street just a block from city center. The Metropolitan is a four story structure built of concrete with an elevator to all floors, providing for sound sleep and quiet nights. Decor for this lovely and quaint hotel is a mixture of post modern and art deco. The color scheme is white on off white with modern art accents.
